So to stop the possibility that someone would sneak into a different bathroom to peek at someone's genitals, you suggest we have people checking peoples genitals to even enter the room?

That takes a hypothetical problem and guarantees it.

Nefarious people would do that regardless, if they chose.

Parliament as a whole also includes the Senate

I believe that is false.

The legislative branch includes both the House of Commons and Senate. (further up the same page)

I hate that they call it "insect bites" when several of those are stings, not bites (bee, wasp, scorpion, some ants).

Also spiders, ticks and scorpions aren't insects either!

100% uncontaminated

IT'S PINK! It's definitely contaminated. Maybe it's got other things things you want in there, but that's still contamination. It's not pure salt.

because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,”

No, woke culture unites the country. That's the fucking point. "Woke" means you accept that everyone is different and you agree to tolerate and respect those differences. Your insistence on hating people you view as different is what divides us.

American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

Usually I'd feel pity for someone being cyberbullied, but Elon told me that's a sign of weakness, so fuck him.

The incident comes as CEO Elon Musk's aggressive cost-cutting efforts at DOGE have sparked a backlash against his EV maker.

No, the incident comes as Musk reveals he's a fucking Nazi. Quit the bullshit. Elon Musk is a Nazi. The DOGE stuff is icing on the Nazi cake.

If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.

The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

I find it fascinating how we're so willing to ascribe thoughts, feelings, and motivations to inanimate objects or forces of nature and on the other hand we're so quick to remove all of those attributes from other groups of humans to justify horrible acts done to them.

It's interesting that we have documented cases of homosexuality in thousands of different species, and yet not a single other species that practices Catholicism.

Being gay is more natural than being Catholic.

"To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.),"

Not washing it could fuck it up. Got it.

"CAUTION Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty."

Also washing it could fuck it up.

What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.

So nobody gives a shit that the younger generations can't afford a house, but it's "unconscionable" when boomers can't?
